IMPROVEMENT IN WHIP-SOCKET.

v The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part ofvthe same.

To all whom it conce/rn Be it known that I, JOHN JULIEN, ofOhristiansburg,

in the county of Champaign, and State of Ohio, have invented a new andusefullmprovement in W'hip-Sock ets; and I do hereby declare that thefollowing is a full, lclear, and exact description of the same,-reference being had to the annexed drawings, making part of thisspecification, in which- Figure l is a perspective View;

Figure 2 is a horizontal section; and

Figure 3 an elevation and section.

The same-letters `are employed in all the iigures in the indication ofidentical parts. l v

A is the socket, of the ordinary size, and made of any suitablematerial.

Around the socket., near `'the top thereof, there is a projection, A',in which is placed the chain C, the links of which are formed as shownin iig. 2.

A semicircular piece, G, is attached to the chain C, and carried throughan opening made in the side of the enlargement A', and turned outwardson the end,

as shown. Y

The links of the chain .O are attached to a thin spring, O2.

The lower edge of the semicircular piece G is notched like aratchet-wheel.

, witnesses. y f

D is the lock.

The bolt D` is pressed forward by a spring, and the end thereof isbevelled on one side, so that when the whip is placed in the socket, theend of the semicircular piece Cl being drawn' out, thechain will bedrawn closely around the handle, above the'ferrule, the notches will,

presenting their inclined faces to the inclined face of the bolt, slideover the same, and the bolt will hold the parts in that position untilthe key is introduced and turned, when the bolt D', being disengaged,the tension of the spring O2 Will draw back the chain and piece O1, andpermit the whip to be withdrawn from the socket.

What I claim as my invention-,and desire to secure by Letters Patent,is'- A whip-socket, constructed with a lock, D, having a spring-bolt,D', and exible chain C, notched curved piece C, and spring G2, arrangedto operate in combination, substantially as set forth In testimonywhereof, I have signed my name fto this specification in the presence oftwo subscribing JOHN JULIEN.
